... or rather the Chicago airport....
I was supposed to be going to sleep in about a half hour, in my new bed for the next 5 months, in Spain... but no... i'm in the Chicago airport...
Yesterday I get to the StL airport, all ready to go, half of me filled with excitement and the other half, sad to say goodbye to family and friends. Then my 10:20am flight was delayed to 11:15, then canceled all together, so I got moved to the 12:40 flight, that got delayed to 2:25, then canceled all together, along with all other flights into Chicago that day... So I got my bags and went home.
Today was like the movie Groundhogs Day... if you have not seen it, Bill Murey is a reporter or something and is doing a report about Groundhogs Day but he's basically a big Groundhogs Day scrooge and so the universe basically makes him repeat the day over and over and over and over again until he learns his lesson to be nice... So it was a huge de ja vu (spelling?) this morning when I re-did everything. Only this time I DID make it to Chicago...
But I get here only to find that my flight to Madrid is delayed from 4:45-5:55, not too bad, and I made a friend which makes this lay over less boring. This girl I met, also named Laura, is also going to SLU Madrid and was on my flight yesterday that got canceled. So we have been hanging out this entire time and she is a lot of fun. Yay friends! haha She is a Psychology major and Spanish minor, very cool. And as it turns out we are in the same dance class in Spain!
Okay.. going to get a bite to eat before boarding the plane to Madrid... 8 hrs that I need to spend sleeping so my sleep schedule is not messed up when I land at 9:00am spain time (2:00am StL time)
